Fog Light Options

So I installed CS/GT fog lights from Ford and noticed that the light does not match the heads/running lights. What is the least expensive way to get a whiter fog light to fit in the CS/GT location?

OBTW after spending way to much time trouble shooting fog lights not working relalized that just turning on the lights and pulling the fog switch does get the fogs to work. All these conditions, high beams off, dark setting and I believe ignition on. I stooped trying to figure out what got them to work once they came on.

HID retrofit is even better.

The Silver Stars will still be a little yellow if you have HID's, the Hoen Xenonmatch are what I have in mine.

I have installed the Xenonmatch from Hoën and they are very close to the HID color.

Here are some pics with before and after (it's not my car, but the one from my friend)

I recently replaced my fog lights with a 35W HID kit from DDM tuning for 30 bucks + shipping. I ordered 4500K which is the closest color they have to the 2013 OEM headlights, however once installed they have a hint of blue and one can easily see the difference in color. For the money I payed I can't complain too much but if you want the fog lights to match the exact color of the headlights I don't suggest you go with ddm tuning since they have a bad rep of selling bulbs that don't match the stated color temperatures.

What I did because of this, > bought DDMs 4300k replacements for the headlights. Now they all match.

Well Danielle, that's one way to go about it. I personally prefer the white light, so I'm still on the lookout for some affordable 4300K or 4500K bulbs to match the headlights.

Yea those were super cheap, but what I meant was that I am looking for replacement HID bulbs for my fog lights so that they match the color of my headlights (OEM 4300K). The current ones I have from ddm look just a bit blueish. I really want that pure white.

I really recommend you go HID for a few more bucks and you could also pick up some LED's for the licence plate, interior dome lights, and side markers for a few cents each. With shipping it should come out to around $50. Just bear in mind that they dont match exactly but still look pretty **** good. It's a pretty good deal.
